They would have played together at Clarence .
Not sure about that (probably knew each other through different grades in the juniors, though). Jack would have played a season or two with his brother Nick before coming over.

On the radio they said that, at the end of the game, Astbury had grabbed a footy as a keepsake of his last game. Apparently Jack went and grabbed one of the other game balls from the maggots and gave it to Burgoyne.

If true, well done Jack, great human being. Richmond Man - this is the culture we want to continue and Jack's presence can help to teach the new players coming through.

Another top 3 Coleman finish, too.
As much as Jack has been a champion over the course of his career and to come third at this stage is a testament to him, it's as much as an indictment on the competition for geriatrics such as Hawkins (2nd) at 33 y/o, Riewoldt (3rd) at 33 y/o (in October), Walker (4th) at 31, & Franklin (5th) at 34 to continue to be at the top without many young spearheads coming through
